This will help add texture and dimension to your room, and give it that distinctly weathered vibe that rustic spaces are so well known for.

3. Keep to a Neutral Palette

Just like hand-made pieces, if you have any family heirlooms or antiques, your rustic bedroom is a great place to let them shine. This trunk-turned-nightstand adds a unique flair to this bedroom and gives it a slightly retro vibe.
